Welcome to First Baptist Academy! I’m so glad you’re exploring our school—and I’m honored to share what makes FBA such a meaningful place for families seeking a Biblical worldview coupled with an outstanding academic experience. 

Located in Naples, Florida, First Baptist Academy was established in 1996 with a clear mission: to partner with Christian parents to develop students with Christian character and a biblical worldview, equipping them for life, learning, and leadership. Today, we serve PreK3 through 12th grade students in a nurturing environment that balances academic excellence with spiritual growth. 

As a parent of now grown children, I know how important it is to find a school where your child is not only challenged academically but also known, valued, and guided in their personal and spiritual development. At FBA, we take that responsibility seriously. Our classrooms are led by experienced, caring educators committed to shaping both minds and hearts—preparing students to succeed in college and beyond while remaining rooted in their faith. 

Through Kingdom Education—a partnership between school, home, and church—our students are taught to think critically, lead courageously, and live with integrity. We want them to step into the future confident in who they are, whose they are, and how they’ve been prepared to make a difference in the world. 

We would be honored to partner with your family and welcome your student into the FBA community. I invite you to visit our campus, ask questions, and experience firsthand the heart and excellence that define First Baptist Academy. 

In His Service, 

Dr. Ryan Dupeé
